Urban District Energy Futures: A Dynamic Material Flow Analysis (MFA) Model

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Darren Robinson, Nataliya Filchakova

With more than half the world population now urbanised, urban metabolism – defined as the throughput and transformation of material and energy flows to sustain human life in urban settlements – is responsible for consuming the majority of global resources ...

Towards an evolutionary model of city sustainability

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Darren Robinson, Adil Rasheed, Nataliya Filchakova

In part stimulated by the computer game industry, reasonable progress has been made in the dynamic modelling of urban growth and land use change. However, sustainability considerations in this work remain to be addressed. Yet the environmental impact of ci ...

Minimizing connected lighting power in office rooms equipped with anidolic daylighting systems

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Friedrich Linhart

Electric lighting is responsible for up to one third of an office building’s electricity needs. Making daylight more available in office buildings can not only contribute to significant energy savings but also enhance the occupants’ performance and wellbei ...

Quo vadis thermodynamics and the city: a critical review of applications of thermodynamic methods to urban systems

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Darren Robinson, Nataliya Filchakova

Cities are complex dynamic entities. From a thermodynamic perspective, they represent open systems, constantly importing and exporting energy and matter across their boundaries; the output invariably being less ordered due to irreversible internal processe ...

Modelling Complex Fenestration Systems

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Anothai Thanachareonkit

Complex Fenestration Systems (CFS) are widely studied to help redirecting daylight into a room in order to optimise its luminous properties. Daylighting designers and researchers usually employ physical and virtual models to assess their daylighting perfor ...

Sol-gel deposition and characterization of low refractive index nanocomposite Mg:F:Si:O thin films for solar and protective coatings

Christian Roecker, Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Estelle De Chambrier, Josef Andreas Schuler, Dipanwita Dutta

Coatings for thermal solar energy conversion have to be abrasion-resistant, stable at elevated temperatures, and often have to protect the substrate against corrosion. Due to the conditions of refractive index matching between the substrate and the ambient ...

Stochastic Simulation of Occupant Presence and Behaviour in Buildings

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jessen Page, Darren Robinson

While most current building simulation tools consider occupants as predictable robots the true nature of human behaviour is more complex. This article describes a set of stochastic models aimed at capturing this complexity by decoupling occupant presence f ...

Comparing the accuracy of daylighting physical and virtual models for complex fenestration systems

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Anothai Thanachareonkit, Darren Robinson

Nowadays, many new window components known as complex fenestration systems (CFS), such as laser-cut panels and prismatic films, are considered in order to improve the overall luminous properties of building spaces : detailed studies of CFS remain necessary ...

Simulating stochastic demand of resources in an urban neighbourhood

Nicolas Morel, Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jessen Page, Darren Robinson

The consumption of resources within an urban neighbourhood depends on the behaviour of its occupants. To understand the randomness of this behaviour and its effect on the demand of resources calls for the development of a set of stochastic models which are ...

Analysis of error sources within daylighting physical and virtual models of buildings

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Anothai Thanachareonkit, Darren Robinson

Recent studies have pointed out the general tendency of scale models to overestimate the daylighting performance of buildings, usually expressed through work plane illuminance and daylight factor distribution profiles. An analysis of the corresponding sour ...
